The setting meets legal requirements for early years settings

p.1

This provision is good

 The childminder continually adapts her communication with children to extend their learning and development and provide them with challenge.  The childminder provides children with a wide range of activities and resources related to their individual interests, which successfully motivates them during their play.  The childminder makes effective use of self-evaluation to continually improve children's care and learning.  The childminder works well in partnership with other early years provision that children attend to provide good continuity.

who attend. This is good

The childminder has a secure knowledge of how to move children on in their learning and identify where they need additional support. Consequently, children are prepared well for starting school and some reach beyond expected levels of development. The childminder gives children time to express themselves, such as when they confidently sing familiar songs. Children concentrate well and persist during activities, for example, when they play games using magnetic rods and fish. The childminder extends children's vocabulary by asking questions that help children to remember and link past activities. Children develop social skills during regular outings to toddler groups and a local park. The childminder regularly takes children to a music group. This successfully develops their confidence as they select objects that initiate group singing activities. Children develop design skills through painting and cooking activities.

p.3

good

Children are very happy, settled and well behaved. They form close emotional bonds with the childminder, and often laugh together. Children form good friendships and initiate their own ideas during their play that includes others. For example, they hold hands and rock backwards and forwards as they sing 'Row, row, row your boat'. Children show great excitement as they copy facial expressions and learn to identify different emotions. The childminder successfully promotes children's physical well-being. She takes children on regular outings where they dance, follow movements, use musical instruments and take part in parachute games. She also takes them to a local gym and soft play facility where they learn to balance, crawl through tunnels and use slides.

p.3

provision is good

Children's welfare is fully safeguarded because the childminder has a good knowledge and understanding of child protection procedures. She fully understands and meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Since the last inspection, the childminder has completed a level 3 qualification in childcare. This training has successfully broadened her knowledge of child development. It has also enabled her to monitor children's progress more closely and adapt activities to meet their individual needs. The childminder has met the recommendations made at the last inspection. She encourages parents to take home children's learning journeys and shares progress summaries with them every six months.
